By   |  Oct 3, 2016

‘The Red Turtle’ is a new French-Belgian-Japanese animated film directed by Dutch-British animator Michaël Dudok de Wit. The film is a co-production between Wild Bunch and Studio Ghibli, and tells the story of a man who tries to escape from a deserted island and battles a giant turtle.

Synopsis: A man washes up onto an island populated by turtles and crabs, but devoid of humans. The castaway finds himself confronted by a huge red turtle, which obstructs his efforts to escape the island, but also with whom the castaway bonds. He eventually comes to accept his fate and learns to survive alone on the island. That is until a woman mysteriously washes ashore and the couple go through life’s milestones surrounded by crabs, insects and a vast ocean.

‘The Red Turtle’ opened across Japan in September and is scheduled for release in the United States on January 20, 2017.
